Taste of Love - (Gal Gadot)

25 (2/2)

my throat was dry, and my lungs felt like they were at the brick of collapsing all together. i had a bottle of water thrown towards my direction, and though i was thirsty, i physically could not bring myself up to take yet the slightest tip.

my whole body, and mind was going through such a shock that i could barely move. the entire drive which lasted for hours, i sat, with my legs close together staring at my bloodied up heels as my mind began to drift.

i was scared, of the unknown, i kept revisiting what happened just hours ago, the screams... the bodies falling like rolled dices... the blood. it was haunting, i couldn't stop wondering what would have happened if i got too close to the wrong person, and would have been captured.

what would they have done to me? would i be a pawn they would use? would i be their own set of jewelry they'd wear around with so much pride? would they leave me surrounded by walls for the rest of my life?

it was frightening to think of so many different scenarios, but through all of that overthinking, gal never once left my trace of mind.

was i angry? sure. hurt? absolutely. i wanted to so badly find her, and slap her across the face for bringing me into such danger and leaving me be vulnerable around people with such strong connection, but where was she?

was she taken? was she fighting? did she flee?

so
many
questions

with little to no answers.

i felt the van slowing down, causing me to hold onto cassie whom was asleep in front of me. my touch caused her to wake up, as she scanned my face with such worry before giving me the softest smile.

she got up, helping me get on my feet, as she unlocked the back door, before helping me get off the van where we were inside of a large warehouse.

"holy shit." i mumbled to myself as i was met with at least a hundred different people inside as they were occupied with rolling out trays of blocks that seemed to be taped up.

i furrowed my eyebrows, glancing at gray for a second, as i made my way towards one of the many trays as i picked up a block before sniffing it, causing me to immediately cough erratically.

"why would you do that?" cassie asked, her voice monotone as she grabbed the block out of my hands and placed it back on the tray. "what you just sniffed was a pound of pure cocaína"

"cocaine?" i asked, my eyes widening as i dusted off my hands. "why would you have so many drugs all in one place, cassie?"

"jeez, does she ever shut up? she's like a broken radio. only keeps going on and on with her questions." gray responded, causing cassie to let out a light chuckle.

i rolled my eyes, flipping him off before turning my attention back to cassie. "answer me, i'm quite literally about to hyperventilate, why are we surrounded by pounds of drugs?"

"it's not ours, dumbass. the event that we had gone to had different types of bidding, and though you were the star of the night, they were also bidding on different types of drugs, but before the drugs were even settled in, we made sure to confiscate it." gray answered, crossing his arms whilst i just bit my lip.

i mean, sure. i've done weed. a shit ton of weed, in fact, but i never got into any heavy goodies. i was always cautious, but tonight only brought in more fear for me. it didn't seem like anyone was under the influence, but i couldn't help but wonder how they would have acted if they were high through the roof.

i let out a sigh, rubbing my arms together as i felt a shiver go through my spine. i felt something get wrapped around my body, and as i turned around, i watched cassie wrap her coat around me, her pupils slightly dilating.
